Herbert Hoover was a man of genuine, fine character, but he lacked practical political sense. And he couldn't bend and shift and change with the requirements of the time. And he was a ruined President, because he was such a, I think, stiff-backed ideologue. And I think that speaks volumes about his character.

Robert Dallek

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.

Mark Kennedy

If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.

John Stott

The man of character is the persistent man, the man who is faithful to his own word, his own convictions, his own affections.

Maria Montessori

When one person is struck by the Word, he speaks it to others. God has willed that we should seek and find His living Word in the witness of a brother, in the mouth of man. Therefore, the Christian needs another Christian who speaks God’s Word to him. The Christ in his own heart is weaker than the Christ in the word of his brother; his own heart is uncertain, his brother’s is sure.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Man habitually sacrifices his life to his purse, but he sacrifices his purse to his vanity.

Miguel de Unamuno

When one has never heard a man's name in the course of one's life, it speaks volumes for him; he must be quite respectable.

Oscar Wilde

The talkative man speaks from his mouth, the eloquent man speaks from his heart.

Joseph Joubert

A person whose desires and impulses are his own - are the expression of his own nature, as it has been developed and modified by his own culture - is said to have a character. One whose desires and impulses are not his own, has no character, no more than a steam-engine has character.

John Stuart Mill

An author who speaks about their own books is almost as bad as a mother who speaks about her own children.

Benjamin Disraeli

You and I won't ever find ourselves on that cross, but we repeatedly find ourselves at the foot of it. And how we act there will speak volumes about what we think of Christ's character and His call for us to be His disciples.

Jeffrey R. Holland

The annual 'Forbes' Billionaires List speaks volumes about the movement and concentration of wealth across industries and geographies.

David Lichtenstein

I think that an author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children.

Benjamin Disraeli

That's an interesting thing about an object. One object speaks volumes about the company that produced it and its values and priorities.

Jonathan Ive

A person speaks more about his character through his shared images or uploaded profile picture than with his words or deeds, but only a leader who is always true to himself correctly reads them.

Anuj

A man who has trained himself in goodness come to have certain direct intuitions about character, about the relations between human beings, about his own position in the world - intuitions that are quite different from the intuitions of the average sensual man.

Aldous Huxley
